Disappointing

The food here is subpar... I've tried this place 3 or 4 times, since I love Cuban food and it's in th neighborhood. I kept hoping I would find one dish that was good. Sadly, no. I will not order from here again.

Not good at all!!!

I was very disappointed!! I was expecting a tasty cuban meal instead there was watery Paella...rice wasnt cooked and was soupy/watery and portion was not very large. The Oxtails entree was nearly tasteless...no Cuban spices at all. They could have out a packet of Sazon in it and would have improved it greatly. Our waiter was quite accomodating and there was band played so nice atmosphere...too bad the food was bland, undercooked and tasteless. Even Cabana chain is better..oh well.

You will like it

I went and try cuban food all around town but now i did find the right place. Food was very good (try the ceviche, and the churasco con chimichuri) service was upbeat and friendly a little loud but it is worth it. Go try it and you will have a lot of fun.

How's the food? WHAT?

This may have been an off night, but I went to this place on a Thursday night and it was crowded and loud like a night club. The waiter serving us was sort of kind out of obligation more than anything else. And the place felt thick of tourists and BnT people. Not that that's bad, but it influences the environment. If that wasn't enough, halfway through dinner, three musicians began to play so loudly that we were yelling over our food, which was good, but not great. This place might be good for groups, but not a one on one dinner.

good food, noisy place

If you don't mind eating without talking this is a good place, especially when they have live music (and you may end up being seated right next to the band, as it happened to us!). But the food is in fact worth it, especially the chevize. Less noise in the bar area, and you can sit there while watching the cigar rolling by the door.

Great Cuban place in Manhattan

I'm Cuban, I love Manhattan, i love restaurants, night life and people. This place is wonderful specially on weekends, I went with some friends, the atmosphere is caribbean but if you love Mambo, Salsa don't put mariachis to the ambience, because i think went you have the rithm and cuban light inside everything should be accord. Mojitos were great, food OK, music excellent but boring mariachis waiting tables, as I said before everything should be accord. Bring music, bring drinks, bring life! Management think about it, this is Manhattan.

Over priced

I love Cuban food but this was nowhere close. We had a Ceviche which was not done properly. Sangria was priced at $ 9 per glass which we felt was too much especially when it tasted more like water ! I would not recomend this place for food.
